lyrics

Don't shut out the moon
Don't hide from the light it's making
Let it shine and glitter on you naked
Your beauty will keep you safe

A thousand gold and red balloons
Rain up and flood the streets in celebration
Tie your fears to the tail of a ribbon
And watch them all float away

Dawn up in the trees
Dripping dew trickles down our knees
As goosebumps rise with the sun and our spirits
And nothing can bring us down

Lay your head down next to me
And fall asleep softly breathing
As I stay awake till noon
Remnants of our broken dreams
Fall like confetti on New Years
And wrap us up in a cocoon

Jump into the sea
Deep down with the rocks and the fish
And cover yourself with shells and penny wishes
Your beauty will keep you safe

When you lay down softly
In a field of poppies you'll be dreaming
But if the morphine dreams start to bring out your demons
Click your heels and you'll make it home

Where you lay your head down next to me
And fall asleep softly breathing
As I lay awake till noon
Remnants of our broken dreams
Fall like confetti on New Years
And wrap us up in a cocoon
